Almara is a no smoking home and has a no pet policy so it
is suitable for guests with allergies.

A hearty breakfast is served from 06.30hrs to 08.30 in an attractive
wood panelled dining room with a panoramic view across Urafirth towards Hillswick
and Hillswick Ness. Shetland's excellent local produce is used whenever possible
and most appetites and tastes will enjoy choosing from the selection offered.

This peaceful location is just 30 miles from Lerwick in the
north mainland parish of Northmavine, so is ideal for exploring Shetland.
Eshaness and Hillswick Ness are nearby as is Ronas Hill and Fethaland. A half
hour drive will take you to the inter-island ferries that will take you to
the north islands of Yell, Unst and Fetlar, or east to Skerries, Whalsay or
Bressay making day trips to the islands very easy.

At Almara, up to date and helpful advice with good local knowledge
on what to see and do and where is offered. Walks to match your abilities
best can be recommended, because the family have walked most of them over
the years. A weather forecast for each day will be available to ensure you
are aware of, and take into consideration any possible weather related problems.

The family have always been conscious of the need to protect
the environment, particularly when living so close to such outstanding natural
habitats, so they do all they can to minimise their own impact and that of
their guests, by encouraging them to bring back any litter for safe disposal
at Almara, ensuring only footprints are left behind whilst they enjoy Northmavine
with its 120 miles of beautiful coast line and Shetland's highest landmass
that has made this the most scenic district in Shetland.

From this crofting hamlet of only five houses at Upper Urafirth,
Marcia Williamson extends
a warm Shetland welcome to share this tranquil location as her guest.
